Millionaire
Kelis & Andre 3000 Lyrics

I said, her from the city So her got to be witty, witty She said, him from the country So him got to be funky, funky
The singer believes that people from the city need to be intelligent and people from the country need to be cool.

Mama, I'm a millionaire, but I feel like a bum Mama, I'm a millionaire, but I feel like the only one I, I, I, I woke up early this morning I don't think y'all heard me I woke up early this morning I don't think y'all heard me I woke up early this morning I don't think, think y'all heard me I woke up early this morning, but I still ain't see the sun Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh
Despite having wealth, the singer does not feel fulfilled and wakes up feeling empty every morning.

Papa, I'm a millionaire, but Saks Fifth Ave. don't sell affection Saks Fifth Ave. don't sell affection Papa, I'm a millionaire, but I ain't moving in the right direction Something ain't right, I know I ain't rich, til he is rich, and she is rich, then we is rich oh I ain't rich, til he is rich, and she is rich, then we is rich I ain't rich, til he is rich, and she is rich, then we is rich I ain't rich, til he is rich, and she is rich, then we is rich, mmmm
The singer acknowledges that wealth and material possessions do not bring love or fulfillment. They believe that true wealth is only possible when everyone has it and prioritizes the well-being of others.

Where there is cheese there are rats Where ever there are rats there are cats Where ever there are cats there are dogs If you got the dogs, you got bitches Bitches always out to put their paws on your riches If you got riches, you got glitches If you got glitches in your life computer, turn it off And then reboot it, now you back on Can't just put the cap on the old bottle Once you pop it, that will spoil it Go on and drink it and enjoy it, uh Mama, I'm a millionaire
The singer uses a metaphor to describe how people are always on the hunt for wealth, and some will try to take advantage of those who have it. They advise that if there are problems, it's better to restart rather than trying to fix everything at once.

What's a girl to do when she just has dimes No time, just pay-ay-ay-ay What's a girl to do instead of me It's you, be true-ue-ue-ue What's a girl to do in a world of greed But kneel and pray-ay-ay-ay What's a girl to do when she's lost her long time friends That's li-i-i-i-ife
The singer asks rhetorical questions, reflecting on the difficulties of living in a negative and selfish world, where true friends are hard to find. They suggest staying true to oneself, and turning to faith for guidance.

I, I'm feeling sad like a million bucks I, I, I, I, I, I'm feeling sad like a million I, I, I'm feeling sad like a million Sad like a million I, I, I, I, I, I'm feeling sad
The singer feels empty and unhappy, despite having plenty of money.
